Who Do I Think I Am? A Memoir

Homan Potterton, Merrion Press €24.99

The sequel to his widely praised first memoir, Rathcormick, takes Potterton, the former director of the National Gallery, from his student days at Trinity College through his travels around Europe and up to his appointment to one of the most prestigious posts in Irish cultural life, at the grand old age of 33 no less. This wry memoir gives a peep into the inner workings of the great and the good of Irish society including its leading lights from Charlie Haughey to Lord and Lady Beit and even the gardaí who investigated Martin ‘The General’ Cahill’s looting of their priceless collection.
